  • Attorneys for both sides signed a stipulation of discontinuance in November, following an April dismissal without prejudice after the plaintiffs failed to appear.

  • Chacon said there was never a criminal case, he admitted no wrongdoing, and he described the legal process as painful and costly.
  • After the allegations became public, he was dropped by the Paradigm agency and lost a role in the indie film Red Dirt, according to prior reporting.
